I Got a Bike! + Shop Update

I was working at the shop yesterday, when Tod messaged me and told me he’d gotten me a surprise. I love presents but hate surprises, but my guesses proved futile and I was forced to wait until I got home to see that he’d scored me a sweet bike!

It’s a rad Huffy Rally 3-speed that he got for free(!) and is in amazing condition considering the price tag. I love the bent back handlebars and the colors and yeah.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a bike. (The last one I had was a garage sale-find from before Jonah was born and I’m not sure the tires were every properly inflated because there was nowhere to ride where we lived in Richmond. Then I got pregnant…) Not only am I looking forward to the exercise and fresh air, but it’s a very practical solution for getting around in a town that’s only about two miles long.

So yeah, I’m pretty happy with my surprise. ;)

PS: I also updated my Etsy shop with a few more Recycled Art Journals this weekend! Stop over and take a look if you’re in the market for a new one for yourself, or if you’re looking for a gift for someone special in your life. There are currently over 40(!) one-of-a-kind Journals currently available, with plenty of colors and themes to choose from!

Prototype: Geometric Necklaces

Here’s a sneak peek at a new project I’ve been working on… Geometric Necklaces made from book cover pieces! I’ve got a few things to tweak in order to make these sturdy enough to sell, but I’m super happy with how this prototype came out and have been wearing this one around myself. I’m hoping to have a batch of these in my Etsy shop within the next week or so. :)

What do you think?

New Art Journals + New Blog Posts

Hello, friends.

Things are shifting into place.

I want to write again. I’m going to (attempt to) be writing here again. I’ve got some big ideas (as always.) I’ve been planning some fun things for this summer.

I will probably be making some web site tweaks in the near future. That always seems to happen when I come back to blogging…

Oh! Here are some new Art Journals! Available in my Etsy Shop :

Holiday Sale + Rad Friends

Happy Holidays, friends! ♥♥

The last couple of months have been an absolute whirlwind. We are staying super busy at the shop and of course, gearing up for the holidays at home, as well.

I re-opened my Etsy shop a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t really have time to do much promotion for “Cyber Monday” or anything. So, I thought it’d be fun to have a Customer Appreciation Sale… well, now. :D

So, now through Tuesday, December 18, you can choose-your-own-sale at my shop! To save 20% on any purchase, enter “IHEARTPAPERCUTS” at check-out. To get Free Shipping (U.S. orders only) enter “FREESHIPPINGISRAD” at check-out.

Please note that Tuesday, December 18 is also the last day I can guarantee delivery before Christmas. (By the way, if you are placing an order, and have special shipping concerns, feel free to drop me an email! I’m more than happy to ship directly to the recipient.)

Today, I got to hang out with my rad friend, Emily. She’s been officially hired as PAPERCUTS’ production assistant, (which I could NOT be happier about… we’ve got BIG things planned for next year…) but work days are just too fun to call “work.” So we’re going to need a new word.

PS: Keep an eye out in the next few days/weeks for more blog posts! Last night, I sat down and planned out posts for the rest of the year. I’ve been really missing blogging, and am really eager to try to fit it back into my (admittedly jam-packed) daily schedule.
